Chapter 1338: Words and Deeds of a Couple (66)
Printed on the list were Nian Chenchen's photo, date of birth, and detailed information about when he went missing.
The diners were all happy to accept it. Many people didn't even want the peanuts she gave them. They just took the flyer and said they would help her keep an eye out for her.
Treat others with kindness, and others will return kindness.
Ji Xing and Song Yiyan also lined up, ready to buy something to eat, and let Nian Chenchen taste the taste of his long-lost mother.
There were new diners next to them asking about the situation, and old diners who often patronized the place told them.
Five years ago, the son of the stewed food owner disappeared, and she had been looking for him for five years.
During the day when she was working, she would give a bag of peanuts and flyers to everyone who came to her stewed food stall to buy stewed food, asking them to help keep an eye out for her son.
At night, she would go to every place in the city to hand out flyers and look for her son, no matter if it was windy, rainy, snowy or hail, she never stopped for a day.
She stubbornly believed that her son must still be alive and that he would come back one day.
"The vegetable market here is about to be demolished and closed in two days. She is a woman, and the vegetables she sells are so cheap. After paying the rent every month, she can't make much money. I don't know where she will settle down in the future." An aunt sighed, full of pity and sympathy.
Many old diners are used to eating here. It is clean and hygienic, and the people are kind and the prices are cheap. In the past five years, the prices of other small food stalls have doubled, but she has not raised the price by a dime.
They advised her to raise the price, but she just didn't listen and always insisted on the lowest price.
She said that everyone doesn't dislike her talking about her son every day, helping her to keep an eye on her son, and caring about her business are all helping her, and she also wants to give back to everyone.
Song Yiyan listened to the conversation of the diners and glanced at the notice posted next to her. The vegetable market will be closed the day after tomorrow. These are the last two days.
But it is still very lively. The merchants have not closed their doors. They are all enthusiastically preparing to do a good job in the last two days of business and serve the old diners who have been patronizing the business for decades.
Auntie said that this market has been built for more than 20 years, and the merchants who settled in are all old merchants. Everyone is not used to the demolition and relocation!
There are old residential areas near the market, and the customers who come to the market are also old customers. After so many years, everyone has developed feelings.
"This stewed dish is definitely the best in Beijing. You will regret it if you don't eat it!" Auntie helped to recommend it to the new diners.
Song Yiyan felt the jade pendant on her chest, flashing and shining, and could clearly feel the soft emotions, and her nose couldn't help but feel a little sour.
In five years, the mother in front of her must have been broken in her heart, but she was still smiling and insisting.
She must have believed that her child was still alive and well in this world, and she would see her baby one day.
Soon, it was Song Yiyan and Ji Xing's turn.
Chenchen's mother saw a young and good-looking couple who looked like people from the TV, and asked with a smile: "What do you two want to eat? You can pick any dish here."
Song Yiyan smiled: "Sister, please pick the ones you like for us!"
Chenchen's mother: "Can you young people like the tastes I like?"
Song Yiyan nodded: "I like it."
Chenchen's mother always felt that the girl in front of her had a very friendly aura. She smiled and said yes, picked cold dishes for them, and talked to them with a smile: "Girls, since this is your first time here, I won't charge you any money. Just look at the flyer above and help me keep an eye on my son."
Song Yiyan took the flyer and looked at the child on it. She smiled brightly. He was fair and clean, with good facial features. He looked like a sunny and cheerful child. He would definitely be a handsome boy when he grows up.
But the Chenchen she saw was skinny and frighteningly thin. If she didn't know, she wouldn't believe it was the same child.
It is conceivable that a five-year-old child must have been tortured to become so skinny.
Approaching his mother, Chenchen's emotions fluctuated a little, and he could clearly feel his excitement, surprise and disappointment.
"Auntie, don't worry, we will keep an eye out for you." Song Yiyan took the flyer and thought that Zhao Yun would call her soon!
They had already called the police. This kind of case would definitely be handled by Zhao Yun's criminal police team. After confirming the identity, they would notify Chenchen's mother.
Zhao Yun probably hated her to death. He threw one case after another to him. The rose field corpse case made him exhausted, and he was given a child missing death case.
Chenchen's mother handed the prepared cold dishes to Song Yiyan.
When Ji Xing took out the code in his hand to scan and pay, the aunt said that she didn't want anything and said that she would pay next time she came to eat. This time it was her treat.
Song Yiyan was not polite either. She pulled Ji Xing to stand by and eat.
Seeing that they only ate cold dishes, Chenchen's mother brought them two large pancakes and asked them to eat them together. She also brought two disposable cups and poured water for them.
Song Yiyan felt a little complicated. Kind people, no matter how much suffering they have experienced, always maintain the most simple kindness in their hearts.
Chenchen felt very heavy. He could only see his mother, but could no longer hug her or act coquettishly with her.
The diners who passed by looked at them kindly, and a few uncles and aunts asked them if the food was delicious? Let them have a good look here. It will be closed in two days and they will never be able to come here again.
"Sister, your cold dishes are really delicious." Song Yiyan praised without hesitation, looking at Chenchen's mother: "My boyfriend and I just want to do some small business, but we have no income, we just have some money, I wonder if you can invest in the technology?"
Just now, those diners said that her business here is almost like doing charity, she can't make much money, just enough to make enough rent.
Anyway, Yang Juan gave her a building, and she took out some money to give to Chenchen's mother, which can be regarded as a good deed.
Double gratitude came from the jade pendant on her chest.
Chenchen's mother smiled shyly when she heard her say this: "I don't have any technology, I just make a living, you should find someone else, I can't do it."
She did this business just to find Chenchen, not to make money, she can do whatever she wants, but she can't let others suffer.
"Sister, I just like your cold dishes." Song Yiyan said, and then asked the diners in line: "Everyone, tell me, are sister's cold dishes delicious? If she opens a shop, will you go to eat?"
The diners answered loudly that they would definitely go to support her.
The regular customers in line also hope that Chenchen's mother will be well. If someone can really open a shop with her, her life will be a little better.
